On the average, 250 to 300 cats and dogs are destroyed every week at just one area shelter. Here are SOME, not all, of the unlucky faces that did not make it out alive from the Memphis Animal Shelter during the month of Febuary 2003. We hope this page disturbes you, angers you, upsets you. It should. What happens at the shelter everyday is obscene, but it is not their fault, it is ours, the community. It is our RESPONSIBILITY to right this wrong. This does not have to happen. We need only to work together, get involved, speak out, make change....do the right thing. Please, for them, find out what you can do.    "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing" -Albert Einstein

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter....the castoffs of human society. I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal, and I was angry. I said "God, this is terrible! Why don't you do something? God was silent for a moment and then spoke softly "..but I have done something, I  created you." -Jim Willis
